Russell Lewis Photography Full Description

Natural, considered wedding photography

If you’re planning a wedding in Herefordshire or beyond, I offer a straightforward, story-led approach to photography that focuses on what actually happens on the day. Rather than stiff posing or set-piece moments, I concentrate on real interactions, honest reactions, and the small details that give the day its character. The result is a collection of photographs that feels natural, balanced, and true to you.

Experience that lets the day run smoothly

With over 20 years’ experience and hundreds of weddings photographed, I know how to work quietly and efficiently without disrupting the flow of the day. Couples often tell me they appreciate how unobtrusive the photography feels and how easy everything is to manage alongside the rest of their plans.

I hold a BA (Hons) in Photography and am an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society. My work combines documentary coverage with clear, relaxed direction when it’s helpful, particularly for group photos and portraits, allowing everything else to unfold naturally.

Your day, recorded thoughtfully

Every wedding is different, and I take the time to understand what matters most to you. Whether it’s a small, personal celebration or a larger gathering, my focus is on creating a well-rounded record of the day that reflects the people, the atmosphere, and the effort you’ve put into planning it. I pay close attention to the in-between moments – the looks, conversations, and quiet reactions that often mean the most later on.

What you can expect

• An experienced, professional photographer with a relaxed, confident approach

• Flexible coverage options with a choice of albums and finishing products

• A natural mix of documentary photography and gently guided portraits

• Coverage across Herefordshire, the West Midlands, and throughout the UK

FAB-U-LOUS!
I know that people often gush about wedding days and people involved but I can't praise Russell more highly for the professional, thoughtful and creative service he gave us. Russell listened to what we wanted and delivered photographs we are delighted with. He went out of his way to make everyone feel at ease, he was able to inspire some wonderful shots and most of all, he was a total pleasure to have as part of our brilliant day. I can not recommend this photographer more highly. FAB-U-LOUS!

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish
Russell was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He was courteous, kind, unobtrusive, fun and enthusiastic. Many of our guests remarked at how great he was and how they wouldn't hesitate to book him for themselves in the future. We have the most wonderful photos from our special day and Russell printed us the most beautiful personalised thank you cards which our guests have loved! We would highly recommend his professional and brilliant photography services to anyone and everyone!

Very classy and romantic
Russell did our wedding photos last August and he was absolutely brilliant. He caught many special and spontaneous moments and also guided us to make some moments even more special. We only realized how important is to have a good photographer when we saw the final product. Very classy and romantic

Russell told our story in a way we’ll treasure
We are very happy with the photos that Russell took for us on our wedding day. He really captured the happy moments of the day- great real, touching expressions not posed or false. Beautiful ‘still’ photos that show the setting, flowers etc which complement the ‘action’ shots. Also, we had the photos on an extremely sweet USB ( I won’t spoil the surprise) within 3 weeks. Russell told our story in photos in a way we’ll treasure.

You've actually brought a tear to my eye
We were evening guests at Abi & Carl's wedding. Whenever people know you are the photographer for the day they know they are in for the best service and can't wait to see the photos! We were only there for the evening but you managed to capture my daughter down to a tee, gymnastics and dancing! We had a great evening, and you've actually brought a tear to my eye with what you have secretly photographed of us on the dancefloor! Thank you!

He genuinely cared
Russell photographed our wedding day and we wouldn’t of changed a thing! From the moment he arrived he was more than just a photographer. Russell was so helpful, organising everyone and ensured that he learnt everyone’s names making our experience so personal. He genuinely cared and felt like a guest at our wedding! He captured the most incredible pictures and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you Russell!

Would recommend him 100%.
For a person that absolutely hates having her picture taken it was a total pleasure to have Russell capture our wedding day. All his years of experience paid off, he was brilliant at organising our guests and we have a beautiful album that documents our day perfectly. I would recommend him 100%.

Wow! Wow! Wow!
I was an attendee (Mother of the Bride) at a wedding you recently shot and was truly impressed! First of all you are extremely entertaining with a fantastic sense of humor. At the conclusion of the event, you were all packed up and ready to go. However, we wanted a photo of the bride with her Mom and Mom-in-Law. You turned on your heel, unpacked your equipment and gave us that final memory...with a smile (after shooting for 12hours). Wow! Wow! Wow!

We are so glad we chose Russell
We are so glad we chose Russell to capture our wedding, looking back at our photos is like reliving the day. All the photos look absolutely fantastic and we love them so much. During the day Russell went above and beyond to get the photos we wanted. He was professional but not over the top, he embraced the light hearted, fun atmosphere of our day and fitted in perfectly. We can't recommend him highly enough, as far as we're concerned he's the best!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

The first wedding I ever covered for someone I didn't know. I was a nervous wreck and ran on adrenaline all day.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Observational, natural, personal, heartfelt, timeless

What about your business are you most proud of?

The fact that I cover so many weddings for people who know one another. I covered a wedding a few years ago where out of 80 guests I'd photographed 7 couples' weddings, that's a wonderful feeling.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Try not to get too caught up in what should happen at a wedding, think outside the box and make your day your own

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

Pennies as favours with a request that each guest throws their penny into the well in the corner of the room and makes a wish for the bride and groom.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I prefer very much to respond to situations on the day and so other than verifying timings and group photo requirements there's very little more to do before the wedding day itself.

What is the No.1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Confetti shots!

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

By original I take it you don't mean good!? Probably a shot where it looks as though the bride standing in the groom's hands like the kind of shot where people look like they're holding up the leaning tower of Pisa!

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrellas!

Describe how you got into photography.

I always have been, my father worked for Kodak and I studied photography at University
